Who We Are

Opening Gaits is a charitable society founded by a diverse group of business, professional, and other Calgarians who are united in a passion for horses and a commitment to serve the community.

Our objective is to provide therapeutic riding in an exciting, fun and challenging environment for children and adults with disabilities, allowing them to develop physically, socially and emotionally. Our programs are delivered by instructors who are equine and/or therapeutically trained. We service Calgary, Okotoks and the M.D. of Foothills.
